People rent airbnb's to do things at where they don't want to do it at their primary residence.

Quality of guests have nothing to do with the noise/etc because that's the specific purpose that people rent airbnb's for - to host parties, do drugs, and basically trash the place.

You're totally right. For example, I can't live in Barcelona from my house in Washington State so I'll go rent one there if I want that amenity.

Your claim that people mostly rent Airbnbs to host parties, do drugs, and trash houses requires a citation. I would not be surprised if less than 1/100 of 1% of Airbnb stays are for folks who aim to do any of what you claim.
